Sorry, my second time posting in this thread, a little more clearly this time… Haha it’s late and this post woke me from a bit of a daze.

For those thinking this is harassment I’d like to quote something for your consideration relating to freedom of expression in Canada:

Expression protected by section 2(b) has been defined as “any activity or communication that conveys or attempts to convey meaning” (Thomson Newspapers Co., supra; Irwin Toy Ltd., supra). The courts have applied the principle of content neutrality in defining the scope of section 2(b), such that the content of expression, no matter how offensive, unpopular or disturbing, cannot deprive it of section 2(b) protection

Section 2(b) - Freedom of expression - Government of Canada website

(and in French)

I agree with you wholeheartedly. To phrase it a little differently; people need to provide a moment to show empathy, reflection, and assistance if possible. To let the event sink in. This gives the victims the acknowledgment and understanding they deserve, and makes the general public more deeply impassioned as a result.

Absolutely there needs to be political follow-up to dig to the root of the issue and take the necessary actions to prevent repeat cases.

As an individual I want to express my condolences to everyone in Tumbler Ridge, and may the victims rest in peace. This is a national tragedy.

I hope the community is offered ongoing psychological care and that there is an immediate effort to mitigate physician shortages that they are already suffering.

To feel how I felt when I read the news this morning, I can’t even begin to imagine the grief, misery, anger, sadness, and whirlwind of emotions from those directly impacted.

There is a period of respect where politics on the matter should take a backseat, but I will say that the BC leadership and federal government should discuss what they have learned from this tragedy. I have no answers.

Right now, I just want to express my support to anyone who may be reading this that was affected. If anyone needs somebody to talk to privately, for any reason, please know I am here if you privately message me.

To add to this: pharmacists are able to prescribe medication of certain classes, for certain conditions, depending on the province. Here is a list with more details for anyone interested:

I am in support of helping Canadian businesses, especially in the current political climate. What I am not so confident in is the willingness of food suppliers to pass savings along all the way to the customer. Grocery stores have used inflation and price fixing tactics here for far too long for them to have earned my trust. Grocery stores must be seriously audited and regulated accordingly. By all means, make a profit - no brainer. But your profits now are bolstered by hurting 99% of Canadians who need food to survive.
